Εφήμερη Πόλη
(Ephimeri poli)

Director: Giorgos Zafiris

Andreas travels to his dead mother's home on the island. But the landscape has strangely altered and the inhabitants don't remember much. Foreigners flood the island and Andreas can no longer find his home. So he decides to do the only thing left to him. He immerses himself in the myth and reconstructs the lost landscape. A skilful examination of the changing rhythms of life on a Greek island.
